Coconut Rice Conditioning Exfoliant


This    luxurious,  coconut-scented exfoliant   for face    and body    is  simply
divine. For centuries, Asian cultures have used rice in skincare
formulations to encourage clear, luminous, and porcelain skin. The rice
gently exfoliates while the penetrating moisture from the coconut cream
brings vitamins and minerals to the deeper dermal layers of your skin,
helping to strengthen tissues while fighting fine lines, wrinkles, hyper-
pigmentation, and dull, dry skin. Use this gorgeous head-to-toe skin
treatment weekly to enhance your skin’s natural luminosity.

YIELDS: 1 full body application


⁄ cup brown rice flour ⁄ cup coconut shreds Dash of ground
nutmeg
⁄+ cup coconut cream (full-fat coconut milk) What you will need:
medium-size mixing bowl, measuring cups, fork



  1. To Make: Place the brown rice flour, coconut shreds, and nutmeg in a
    medium-size mixing bowl and stir. Add the coconut cream and blend
    with a fork until you have a uniform consistency. Add more coconut
    cream, a little at a time as necessary to achieve a spreadable paste.

  2. To Store: This mask is best used fresh. Store any leftovers in a sealed
    container and use within 1–2 days.

  3. To Use: For best results, take a quick shower or use after a long soak in
    the tub. The warmth of the shower will open your pores and the moisture
    on your skin will provide a conduit for the mask to start working faster
    and more effectively. Towel dry and apply to skin in small, upward
